I get the move because LSU has the combination of ridiculous resources, membership in a top 2 conference and no moral or ethical hesitancy of any kind that’s right up Wade’s alley. Dude couldn’t say no. But this year’s gonna be a little rough.

Love that. Old dudes with zero F’s left to give going off are the most entertaining thing in the current environment. Take no prisoners.

So far. Wade said something about wanting to go hard internationally, but he’s so late that it’s gonna be tough this year. My heart is bleeding for him.

This will be a really interesting follow for me. Seen him play lots of times. He’s a terrific athlete who can’t shoot a lick. His whole game is either posting up and overpowering smaller guards or coming off screens or taking DHO’s and straight line driving. No 3pt game. No midrange game. Hard to see that working for him in the B1G. But the kid plays hard so we’ll see.

UK missed again. Santos going to LSU. In fairness, Wade being able to promise him 80 mins a night and literally every single shot is pretty tough to say no to.

The kid posting this seems…..pretty good.

Did he say from whom?

A lot of Michai White mentions in there. That kid’s awesome. Just this tiny physically under-developed kid who you wouldn’t notice in the layup line ever and then in games he’s the most competitive bada$$ on the floor making play after play. Impossible not to love him.

Went to HS about 10 mins from me and saw them a couple of times over a couple of years. That kid is not even a break the glass big. He is a “Oh God, everyone to the bomb shelter now” big. Strictly cannon fodder for the white jerseys. But he’s not unathletic. If he’s scholly #13 and you want to see what you’ve got after a year of getting his a$$ whooped by Sherrell that’s ok with me. He’s probably got a better chance than Acimovic because he moves better. And the stroke’s alright.

Yeah, athletically Osaruyi is an absolute freak show. He’s about as prototypical as NBA 4’s get. And the present skill is surprisingly good for a kid that young.

An event like that is surely streamed somewhere.

Can’t lie, if I’d realized he hadn’t signed yet I might have been a touch nervous.

Have had my eye on Miller for a while. Strictly a PnR finisher and rim protector and a fouling machine, but given what they’d be looking for here that’s fine with me. And another guy with multiple years.

Wow, when you put it in summary form that really is pretty hideous. And yet, inexplicably, I feel in no way bad for them. Weird.

RIP to the Great Alex Zanardi. Maybe the most exciting dude who’s ever sat in an Indy car. And, man, the life he lived after the accident. What a bada$$.

Bravo, Josh. This is a strong little speech right here.

Hadn’t thought about it quite like that. Can you imagine what Doncic would have done to East Bumphrey Nowehere St in some buy game in November?

Yup. As ridiculous as this sounds I’ll be interested to see how many more seasons of not winning Nattys with these absurd rosters Scheyer gets before he starts getting side eyed a little bit by the Duke money people, though as long as K’s alive he’s got total security.

No idea, but I think he might be a pretty tough pull. Watching his games he’s talented and I’d take him happily as a long term piece. But he’d probably be the 4th big in a bit of niche role next year, he’s not ready for 20 mins every night as the 1st big off the bench on a team that’s really good, and when an LSU has literally no roster and he can probably start there and be paid as a starter and a Seton Hall lost both their bigs it’s hard for me to picture this being perceived by him as his best option even if long-term it probably would be.

Would be funny if it wasn’t so gross.

Wild indeed. You’re gonna have 24yo Euros playing against 17yo Euros on American college campuses.

At IMG he was maybe their 10th guy and every time he entered the game against any team that wasn’t just cannon fodder for them they went 2-3 because he couldn’t defend any kind of movement at all. And he only played a couple of minutes because he’d gas out. God, what those UF bigs would have done to him in practice must’ve been brutal.

This is pretty wild. Don’t know anything about him other than he’s supposedly an uberprospect, but playing a full year at the absolute highest level of CBB as a 17yo seems a little nuts, though Quaintance did it at ASU and held up.
